PurchaseOrder

# The PurchaseOrder Object ### Description A `PurchaseOrder` represents a request to purchase goods or services from a vendor. It outlines the details of the purchase, such as the items or services requested, quantities, prices, and delivery details. A `PurchaseOrder` is a crucial component of the procurement process, but does not typically result in any impact on the company’s general ledger. The general ledger is typically only affected when the `PurchaseOrder` is fulfilled as an *Accounts Payable* `Invoice` object (also known as a Bill). ### Usage Example Fetch from the `LIST PurchaseOrders` endpoint and view a company's purchase orders.
